I test drove one of these. Nice car, but pretty pricey at the time. I don't remember what I ended up buying.

That's the vid that got me thinking about the Yenko yesterday. Maybe we should stick with the car theme. It'll be a lot easier on our stomachs and overall mental health.

We were working the gun ban referendum in Arlington Heights, Illinois.

I was walking a precinct. I went to this house with a Saab parked in the driveway. I was wearing my cowboy hat.

I rang the door bell and a man came to the door. I showed him the lit and gave him the spiel.

He asked, "Do you live around here?" I replied, "Have you ever heard of Pinedale, Wyoming?" He said, "No." I said, "I didn't think so."

The next thing you know there was a story in the local newspaper that the pro-gunners were bringing in people from the outside.

That was pure yellow journalism since they never bothered to call our headquarters and ask.

We beat them 66% to 32%. Someone on the City Council said, "This is a mandate."

A couple of guys on the Committee got drunk and put a "FOR SALE" sign in front of the woman's house that started it all.

No one worked the three precincts in Elk Grove Township and they voted in favor of the gun ban. Someone on the Committee said, "They don't need their freedom in Elk Grove township." ;)

(Edit) Falls off bumper: Ay blin! LOL. 'Blin' is a nice way of saying 'blyat'.

Standing anywhere near the centerline of those straps isn't very smart.
